However, it אֲ מוִּ אים – בְּחַ ִּ מין שֶׁ ּלֹא הוּחַ ּמוּ ּכָל the pot contains hot water that was not yet completely heated, and the is prohibited forever for the one who cooked the same applies to cooked food that was not yet completely cooked. How- food. The halakha was decided on the basis of צֹואְּכָן, וְתַבְשִׁיל ּשֶׁלֹא ּבִּישֵׁל ּכָל ever, if it contains hot water that was already completely heated and explicit cases from other sources (Rambam Sefer צֹוְ א ּכֹוד אֲבָ ל חַ ִּ מין שׁ ֶ הוּחַ ּמוּ לָּ כ צֹוְ א ָ ּכן ,cooked food that was already completely cooked, whether the pot was Zemanim, Hilkhot Shabbat 3:4, 6:23; Shulĥan Arukh וְתַ בְשׁ ִ יל שׁ ֶבִּ ׁ ֵּ ישל לָּ כ צֹוְ א ּכֹו, בֵּ ין בְּשׁ ֹוגֵ ג Oraĥ Ĥayyim 318:1). left thereunwittingly , or whether the pot was left thereintentionally, one בֵּ ין בְּמֵ זִ יד – יֹאכַ ל, דִּבְ ֵ אי אַבִּ י מֵאִ יר. -If one inten : שׁ ָ ַ כ ח ְ דֵ י ָ אה – may eat it; this is the statement of Rabbi Meir. One who forgot a pot tionally left a pot of food on a stove on Shabbat, Rabbi Yehuda says that there is a distinction: Hot water that was already it is prohibited for him to eat the food until after א יַבִּ היְהוּדָ אֹומֵ א: חַ ִּ מין שׁ ֶ הוּחַ ּמוּ ָ ּכל completely heated is permitted because,in that case, the longer it remains Shabbat (Magen Avraham). Others rule that before צֹוְ א ָ ּכן – ָּמוּתִ אין, מִ ְּ ׳נֵי שׁ ֶ ּמִצְטַ ֵּמ וְ ַ אע on the fire, the more it shrivels, i.e., evaporates, and deteriorates. In that eating the food, he must wait after Shabbat the לֹוד וְתַבְשִׁיל ּשֶׁבִּישֵׁל ָלּכ צֹוְ אּכֹו – case, one would certainly not come to increase the heat because he would amount of time it takes to cook that food (Rema). If one placed food that was not completely cooked not want to lose more water through evaporation. However, cooked food אָ סוּא, מִ ּ׳ְנֵי שֶׁ ּמִצְטַ ֵּמ וְיָ ֶה׳ לֹו, וְכֹל on a stove on Friday and he forgot and left the pot הַ ּמִצְטַ ֵּמ וְ יָ ֶ ה׳ לֹו, ְ ּכגֹון ְּכאוּב וּ׳ֹולִ ים that was completely cooked, it is prohibited to leave it on the firebecause on the stove, the food may not be eaten until after it shrivels and improves. There is room for concern that he will stoke the Shabbat. If the food was completely cooked before וּבָשָׂ א טָ אוּב – אָ סוּא, וְכָל הַ ּמִצְטַ ֵּמ coals to increase the heat under the food. And there is a general principle: Shabbat, one may eat it on Shabbat, as per the וְ ַ עא לֹו – ָּמוּתאד Anything that shrivels and improves, e.g., cabbage, and beans, and meat opinion of Rav Naĥman bar Yitzĥak as supported cut into small piecesB is prohibited; and anything that shrivels and dete- by the baraita (Rambam Sefer Zemanim, Hilkhot riorates is permitted. Shabbat 3:9; Shulĥan Arukh, Oraĥ Ĥayyim 253:1). In any event, it was taught in that baraita that in the case of cooked food BACKGROUND ָתָנֵי מִיהָא: ּתַבְשִׁיל ּשֶׁלֹא ּבִּישֵׁל Some : בָ ּ ָשׂ א טָ א ּו ב – that was not completely cooked, if it was cooked unwittingly, it is permit- Meat cut into small pieces ָלּכ צֹוְ אּכֹו, בִּשְׁלָמָא לְאַב נַחְמָן בַּ א ted.

Therefore, the more eating from a pot that was unwittingly forgotten on the stove, and the ba- the meat is cooked, the better it mixes into the ּכָאן – לְאַחַ א ּגְזֵ ָ אהד אֶ ּלָא אַבָּ ה וְ ַ אב .(raita prohibits it only when it was left intentionally, he could explain the dish (Arukh יֹוסֵב דְּאָמְאִי ּלְהֶיתֵיאָא, אִי ֹודֶם following: Here, the baraita, which permits eating it, was taught prior to ּגְזֵ ָ אה – ַשׁ ְ יָא מֵ זִ יד, אִ י לְאַחַ א ּגְזֵ ָ אה – the decree that was issued lest a person act deceitfully, whereas there, the ְ ַשׁ י ָ אנ ַ ִ מ ישׁ ֹו ֵ ג ג ! ַ שׁ ְ ָ י א ד halakha of Rav Naĥman bar Yitzĥak, was taught after the decree, which prohibited eating food even if it was forgotten unwittingly. However, ac- cording to the opinion of Rabba and Rav Yosef, who said to interpret the phrase permissively, whether he left it on the stove unwittingly or he did so intentionally, it is difficult.If this baraita was taught prior to the decree,N the ruling with regard to when he did so intentionally is difficult,as Rabba and Rav Yosef permit eating the food even in that case. If this baraita was taught after the decree, the ruling with regard to when he did so unwit- tingly is also difficult, as Rabba and Rav Yosef permit eating the food in every case.
